Round two of the tubes went extremely smooth. The Bambino is a champ and had no issues with the doctors, nurses, or the surgery itself. However, he did have on issue. He didn't want to leave. Happy to see things go smoothly. Even Curious George (Gigi) got into the act.

The Bambino, Belle, and a few of their buddies caught a Friday night Cat's game and anxiously waited on the post game fireworks (which were incredible, especially for the cost of admission to the game).

TJ and the Bambino set up base camp in the living room. TJ earned his "Big Bro" merit badge over the weekend, showing Jaxson the ropes and being an absolute perfect host for Bambino.

Though they are 10+ years apart, TJ shows his flexibility by switching from adult interaction to being on the same level playing field with Jax. No much more a dad could ask for then an older role model for the son to model themselves after.

4 Days of unsuccessful and grueling potty-training can make any normal adult consider jumping of the nearest cliff. Frustration is an understatement - but to counteract the last few days, we decided to stuff our selves with S'mores.

...and all is well for Miss Belle. Growing like a weed, but a healthy weed. As the days slowly trickle by, the slow transformations begin to take place. The eyes get wider, the features begin to surface, and the smiles start rolling in like a slow and steady wave.

The wife and kids met me for a work day lunch at the greatest little unknown eating spot in Fort Worth - T&P Tavern and Grill, located in the original train depot on the bottom floor of the Texas & Pacific Lofts in downtown.

Great place for kids. Lots of room, all seating is outdoors (you will never feel like you are outdoors thanks in part to the large space and high ceilings), and everyone is in uber-relaxed mode.
